It officially opens Monday. By Kelsey Haddow OF THE NETXNEWS The long awaited opening of the new Utah Valley State College bookstore will happen today November 5, 2001. Over the past six months the UVSC bookstore packed up and left' the student center so that needed renovations could be made to provide students with a bookstore that would service them in a more efficient manner. The Education Building located east of main campus on 1200 South was the temporary home of the bookstore over the summer. This temporary home was not large enough to fit all the books that were needed by students for fall semester classes so trailers had to be brought so that the books could be housed in an organized fashion for students. Many students were not happy with the temporary bookstore set up this summer but realized that it was a means to an end. Megan Smith stated, "I am glad it is coming back to campus, it was too far away in the education building." The new bookstore for UVSC is set up much differently than the previous one. This will go nicely with the addition of the new food court and the newly renovated student center. One of the new additions to the bookstore will be the spirit store where students can purchase UVSC clothing and paraphernalia to show their school pride. "The Spirit Store is the jewel of the new bookstore" stated bookstore manager Bonnie Bird. "It gives us an opportunity to really reach out to the students and the community." "Wolverine Pride" is the new logo on clothing and other UVSC spirit items. At the Spirit Store students can purchanse sweatshirts, t-shirts, water bottles, hats, mugs and many other products with the UVSC logo The new look of the bookstore is fresh with a bit of rustic flair. As students walk in they will see a new candy counter that is constructed out of logs, this new counter is full of new treats for students to indulge in. There is more variety than before with a assortment of homemade fudge, ice cream, soda. Buk candy will also be available, as will chips, and candybars. For those students without enough homework, or studying to do inbetween classes there will a general reading section. This new addition to the book-sotre will allow students to purchase the new best sellers and recent non-fiction and fictional release at the new general reading section. A new center for software and computers is also a welcome addition to the bookstore, as is a new customer service window to help those students who may have questions about where to find school supplies or a book for a class. Last but not least will be the books that all students need for class. Textbooks will still be arranged in alphabetical order by class prefix and section number.

This is called tier one, or the first level of the tuition increase, and this increase is totally up to the legislature.The end goal is to have a single-tuition rate for all students instead of charging students different rates for upper division and lower division level classes. Many students are in favor of a tuition rate and feel that while it may pose a larger burden on their pocket books the ends will justify the means. . Jennifer P.eardall staled, "It's needed.

You might expect this level of security for a Senator or any other prestigious government official. This man was once a wealthy business executive; now a High school teacher he leads somewhat of an extraordinary life amidst his seemingly shaky realm of safety. His name is Dr. Jeffrey Wigand; and as the former Vice President of scientific research at Brown and Williamson he once led a rather illustrious life style. Since he was fired in March 1993, the company has invoked his confidentiality agreement in an effort to keep his story under wraps. In August 1995, he decided to clear his conscience and tell Sixty Minutes about Brown and Williamson.

Russell Crowe stared in the 1999 blockbuster film "The Insider" based on Jeffry Wigands legal battles with the tobacco companies. In his interview with Mike Wallace, MR. Wigand stated, "it's addictive (tobacco,) we knew it was addictive, that is how we talked about it. It's a health problem and a bigger one than anyone thought it was. That is how we spoke of it "inside' Brown and Williamson." Dr. Wigand charged Brown and Williamson with consciously ignoring public health concerns while manipulating tobacco and increasing nicotine levels to raise the addictive power of their cigarettes. He went on to say that on the 'inside' the tobacco industry is referred to as "The nicotine delivery business." This was later to become a crucial point for future lawsuits and debate due to the fact that tobacco companies tried to argue that their product is not addictive. "But they were purposely spiking the tobacco with extra nicotine to maintain present customers and amass new ones," said Wigand. In the middle of taping the story, Lowell Bergman was sum- moned to a meeting at CBS Headquarters. There he was discouraged from continuing with the interviews'and airing the story. He spoke with Ellen Caden legal counsel for CBS; she raised serious concerns about the interview and questioning that was going on with Dr. Wigand. She feared a long and drawn-out legal battle if the story was run. After the interview, 'Sixty Minutes' did run the story but Dr. Wigand was not in it. Mike Wallace of 'Sixty Minutes' stated, "although we have obtained invaluable information per taining to tobacco and the tobacco industry, we cannot report it to you at .this time because Dr. Wigand had signed the confidentiality agreement at Brown and Williamson."

CBS was being advised by their own attorneys who normally fight for the reporting integrity of CBS that they needed to back down and let this story go.

A panel of three federal judges voted 2-1 to dismiss Utah's latest lawsuit, which contended the Census Bureau wrongly estimated the number of people in households it was unable to contact. Another federal panel earlier rejected the state's argument (hat the Census Bureau should have counted Mormon missionaries serving overseas. The state has appealed the earlier ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, and Utah Attorney Ccncral Mark Shuitlefl said Thursday tint it will also appeal the latest ruling. "We were hoping for a better decision, but we believe (he Supreme Court will agree that the Census Bureau does not have the discretion to ignore constitutional requirements of an actual count by calling it something else," Shurtleff said. When census workers couldn't count people at a given household after repeated visits, the Census Bureau assumed the same number of people lived there as in neighboring homes. The method, called "hot-deck imputation," disproportionately benefited North Carolina, Shurtleff said. In the 2000 Census, that statistical "imputation"accounted for less than half a percent of the total U.S. population. But that may have been enough to give North Carolina the extra seat.
